First post for the launch of the first book in the Lions of Judea series and its entry into the Amazon bestseller list

The Rise of the Maccabees
I am excited and proud of the Lions of Judea series that was written as a result of research over five years, while I'm uncertain if the books be even published. What pushed me, beyond the pleasure of writing, was the thought that this is a story that is not well enough known while it is important, engaging and relevant to the present.

I wrote the books, first of all, as a fun read and exciting novel about friendship, leadership, love, courage and creativity.

While reading, the reader becomes aware of a historical story about the first attempt in human history to destroy religion, at that time the only monotheistic religion that existed, as well as the struggles and transformations of the original Jewish religion, in the period before Christianity and sacred to it.

However, it is important to note that the book is not told from a Jewish point of view, but on the contrary, it is based on historical facts and reviews events from a broad, even international perspective, with ancient Rome playing an important role in what took place.

Thank you for reading this post and I hope you will enjoy reading the books at least as I enjoyed writing them.
